Down to Earth has been a favorite store in Grand Haven. I stopped in today to look around and was…read moremet by a wonderful sales associate. I found (3) items to try on and she placed them in the dressing room. She took time to check back in to see if there was anything I needed and was very helpful. Checking out with the owner was another experience. She rang up a necklace and the looked at the price tag on the jacket, I had hoped to purchase. She looked at me and said the wrong price was on the jacket. "Obviously someone has put a different price tag on this coat", With that, she ripped the price tag off and looked at me as if I had replaced the tag. I told her I did not that that was the tag that was on the coat. The tag did not look like it had been tampered with, and I was not sure where she was going with her acquisition. There were a number of other customers standing around the check out counter. I was embarrassed with the way she handled this. . Needless to say, I did not purchase the jacket. She may have had a bad day. I hope she treats her other customers better than she did today.

Needless to say, I always load up.

This post makes me kind of bummed, because I like to support local small businesses in Grand Haven…read more I'm no longer going to support The Lark on Washington though. Today I brought a dress back to The Lark that I had purchased two weeks earlier. I had purchased the dress 2 days before my son's (casual) wedding, liked it when I tried it on in the store, found sandals to with it and was glad to be all set. I put the dress on while getting ready and discovered that it's label kept folding over the outside back of the dress. I smoothed it back and believed the issue was resolved. Went off to the wedding where I was alerted many times during the evening that "your tag is sticking out." No matter how many times the labels were put back in place, they kept escaping to the outside of the dress. Back home, I hung up the dress to deal with when I could. Since the 8/24 event we have had out-of-town guests (the wedding part), Labor Day weekend craziness and the start of my (school) work year. Finally, I was able to get to The Lark today with the dress AND THE RECEIPT. I kindly told the clerks that I didn't actually want to return the dress (I liked it), but that something was wrong with it and that I hoped it could be resolved. We tried to problem-solve, but they kept asking me what I wanted to do. They were not terrifically proactive. I suggested an exchange, but they discovered that ALL the dresses in that lot had the same defect. I suggested a price reduction to compensate for a seamstress fix. They suggested cutting off the label but decided that that would damage the existing seam. I suggested sending it back the supplier for resolution. Finally, one clerk picked up a phone to call the owner and then handed the phone to me to "plead my case." The owner told me that it was MY decision to wear the dress. Yes, I was at my son's wedding when it was obvious that the defect was a continuing problem. The owner told me that the price tags were not on it. Yes, I took them off because I wore the dress to my son's wedding. The owner told me that the dress had been worn. Yes, again, I wore it to my son's wedding. The owner told me that other people had purchased the dress in other colors, and none had been returned. Umm...ok. The owner told me that I should have returned the dress within 10 days. Yup. However, I kind of seriously doubt that given all the other reasons this was MY FAULT, adhering to the 10-day policy would have altered what, at the heart of it, is HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE at The Lark on Washington. So sad, really.

She efficiently assisted me in finding the perfect dress, and I also selected an alternative option. Their in-house tailoring services allowed for the hemline to be adjusted to my desired length, above the shoe line.

This store sets right across from City Hall in a former residence that has been repurposed as a business and may be easily missed! Many vendors sell their hand crafted items in this shop. In fact they also do classes on Saturdays in their "Maker Space". I was inspired to visit on this snowy day in November. I browsed for gifts and enjoyed a conversation with an owner. I love that this shop is bridging the gap between business districts. They are bringing the best of downtown to the "Seventh Street district", (some of my favorite shops and businesses...JW's, Tenden, Bekins, Guitar Haven, Krizan's Citgo) Opening this business, in my opinion, is a gutsy move during this pandemic. I tip my hat and wish them well. I will be back and encourage you to visit this shop, attend a Saturday class, and browse for gifts. Their website has class schedules and vendor applications. (I almost forgot to mention this!) If you are a maker and want to get a start, fill out a vendor application. Wishing all who read this a warm holiday!
